	The KEKB B-factory is under an upgrade construction for the SuperKEKB. To achieve 40 times higher luminosity, the linac is required to inject electrons and positrons with higher intensities (e^-: 1 nC → 5 nC, e⁺: 1 nC → 4 nC) and lower emittances (e^-: 300 → 20 μm, e⁺: 2100 → 10 μm). This paper describes the upgrade scheme of the positron source. A new positron capture section will have larger transverse and energy acceptances by introducing a flux concentrator and large aperture L-band and S-band accelerating structures. Beam line layout and quadrupole focusing system will be rearranged for the enlarged beam acceptance. Beam optics is designed to be compatible for positron and electron beams with different energies and emittances. Pulsed quadrupoles and steering magnets are added for better flexibility in optics and orbit tuning. Parameter optimization of the positron source by optics calculation and particle tracking simulation is described.

	Funding: This material is based upon work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science under Cooperative Agreement DE-SC0000661 The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) at MSU includes a driver linac that can accelerate all stable isotopes to energies beyond 200 MeV/u at beam powers up to 400 kW. The linac consists of 330 superconducting quarter- and half-wave resonators operating at 2 K temperature. Physical challenges include acceleration of multiple charge states of beams to meet beam-on-target requirements, efficient production and acceleration of intense heavy-ion beams from low to intermediate energies, accommodation of multiple charge stripping scenarios (liquid lithium, helium gas, and carbon foil) and ion species, designs for both baseline in-flight fragmentation and ISOL upgrade options, and design considerations of machine availability, tunability, reliability, maintainability, and upgradability. We report on the FRIB accelerator design and developments with emphasis on technical challenges and progress.

TUPLB06	Status of the Rare Isotope Science Project in Korea	ISOL, ion, linac, cyclotron	455
	J.-W. Kim IBS, Daejeon, Republic of Korea
	Funding: National Research Foundation of Korea A heavy-ion accelerator facility is being designed in Korea for the production of rare isotope beams under the name of rare isotope science project (RISP). The project is funded and officially started in Jan. 2012. The accelerator complex is composed of three main accelerators: a superconducting linac to use in-flight fragmentation (IF) method in generating isotope beams, a 70 kW proton cyclotron for the ISOL method, and a superconducting post accelerator for re-acceleration of rare isotope beams to the energy range of 18 MeV/u. The minimum energy of a U beam required for the IF driver is 200 MeV/u at the beam power of 400 kW. The beam current of U ions in high charge states is limited by the performance of existing ECR ion sources. This facility will be unique in the aspect that state-of-art accelerators are facilitated for both the IF and ISOL drivers and combined to produce extreme exotic beams. Also, standalone operation of each accelerator will allow us to accommodate diverse users from beam application fields as well as nuclear physics. The current status of the design efforts will be presented.

	The potential for using thorium as an alternative or supplement for uranium in fission power generation has long been recognised, with growing concerns over nuclear waste, safety and proliferation. Thorium may be used in solid fuel form, or in molten salt systems. In some approaches the fuel can incorporate components from spent nuclear fuel (minor actinides, plutonium) to also serve a transmutation function. We consider the benefits and drawbacks of using an accelerator driven subcritical system, for both solid fuel and molten salt cases, in particular addressing the power and reliability requirements of the accelerator. We outline the research that will be necessary to lead to an informed choice.

	TRIUMF laboratory is currently in a phase of the construction of a new superconducting 50 MeV 10 mA cw electron linac (e-linac) to drive photo-fission based rare radioactive isotope beam (RIB) production. The project imposes certain technical challenges on various accelerator systems including beam diagnostics. In the first place these are a high beam power and strongly varying operating modes ranging from very short beam pulses to the cw regime. A number of development projects have been started to construct the diagnostics instrumentation required for commissioning and operation of the facility. The paper reports the present status of the projects along with measurement results obtained at the test facility which produced the first beam in Fall of 2011.

TUPB100	Recovery and Status Report of DTL/SDTL for the J-PARC After Earthquake	DTL, cavity, alignment, linac	693
	T. Ito, K. Hirano JAEA/LINAC, Ibaraki-ken, Japan F. Naito, K. Nanmo KEK, Ibaraki, Japan
	The J-PARC facilities had big damages because of the earthquake on March 11, 2011. The J-PARC linac in the tunnel had also damages. For instance the alignment of the cavity was deformed more than 40 mm and there had been observed about 0.2 mm in horizontal direction for a few DTs in the DTL. However, as the result of the recovery work which includes the re-alignment and re-conditioning of whole cavities, we were able to restart the beam acceleration of the linac. The stability of the DTL and SDTL has returned to the state before the earthquake except for a few tanks of SDTL. In this paper, we will present the recovery works from the earthquake and the operating status of the DTL and the SDTL.

WE1A02	Status and Future of the CLIC Study	linac, luminosity, emittance, damping	719
	R. Corsini CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
	The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) International Collaboration is carrying out an extensive R&D program towards a multi-TeV electron-positron collider. The CLIC concept is based on the use of high-gradient normal-conducting accelerating structures in conjunction with a novel two-beam acceleration scheme, where the RF power needed to accelerate the colliding beams is extracted from a high-current drive beam running parallel to the main linac. In order to establish the feasibility of such concept a number of key issues were addressed, both experimentally and theoretically, and the results of the study were documented in the recently completed CLIC Conceptual Design Report (CDR). The conclusions reached in the CDR constitute also an important contribution to the European strategy group. A short summary of the present status with will be given, together with an outlook on the program for the next period, aimed at the preparation of an implementation plan.

WE2A01	RF Power Production at the Two Beam Test Stand at CERN	damping, recirculation, acceleration, extraction	738
	I. Syratchev CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
	The generation of short (250 ns) high peak power (135 MW) RF pulses by decelerating the high current (100 A) bunched (12 GHz) drive beam is one of the key components in the CLIC two beam acceleration scheme. Recent tests with drive beam deceleration at CERN's CTF3, using specially developed 1 m long CLIC Power Extraction and Transfer Structure (PETS) operated in re-circulation regime have successfully demonstrated this concept. The results of these tests are presented.

THPB012	High Resolution Emittance Measurements at SNS Front End	emittance, linac, coupling, DTL	870
	A.P. Zhukov, A.V. Aleksandrov ORNL, Oak Ridge, Tennessee, USA
	Funding: ORNL/SNS is managed by UT-Battelle, LLC, for the U.S. Department of Energy under contract DE-AC05-00OR22725. Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) linac accelerates an H⁻ beam from 2.5MeV up to 1GeV. Recently the emittance scanner in the MEBT (2.5 MeV) was upgraded. In addition to the slit - harp measurement we now can use a slit installed on the same actuator as the harp. In combination with a faraday cup located downstream in DTL part of the linac it represents a classical slit-slit emittance measurement device. While a slit – slit scan takes much longer time, it is immune to harp related problems such as wire cross talk and thus looks promising for accurate halo measurements. Time resolution of the new device seems to be sufficient to estimate amount of the beam in the chopper gap (the scanner is downstream of the chopper) and probably measure its emittance. The paper describes initial measurements with new device and some model validation data.

THPB016	Concept: Low Energy, Low Intensity NF from ProjectX	linac, proton, accumulation, extraction	882
	M. Popovic Fermilab, Batavia, USA
	This note describes the concept of a Low Luminosity Low Energy Neutrino Factory (L3ENF) using a Project X pulsed, or CW, Linac at 8GeV. By collecting pis and mus with energy ~1 GeV, and accelerating them to 10 GeV, it is possible to store ~10²⁰ mus per year. Most of the concepts suggested here can be tested using the Booster beam, Recycler, Antiproton Target Station, the Main Injector and the Tevatron. Once the VLENF Muon Storage Ring is built, components needed for L3ENF could be used in experiments before Project X completion.

	The linac of Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC), which is an injector to the synchrotron, comprises a 3-MeV RFQ, 50-MeV DTLs and the 181-MeV Separated-type DTLs. In order to increase the beam power of the synchrotron, the task of the 400-MeV energy upgrade of the linac started from March 2009. The tanks of the Annular-ring Coupled Structure (ACS) linac, RF sources, beam monitors and utilities are in production. Although some peripheral components of the ACS linac are prepared previously, the all ACS tanks will be installed and conditioned for 4 months from July 2013. Beam commissioning of the 400-MeV linac is scheduled to begin in October and expected to finish at the end of November 2013. In this paper, we present the current status of the energy upgrade and some R&D results for new equipment for ACS linac.

A heavy-ion accelerator facility is being designed in Korea for the production of rare isotope beams under the name of rare isotope science project (RISP). The project is funded and officially started in Jan. 2012. The accelerator complex is composed of three main accelerators: a superconducting linac to use in-flight fragmentation (IF) method in generating isotope beams, a 70 kW proton cyclotron for the ISOL method, and a superconducting post accelerator for re-acceleration of rare isotope beams to the energy range of 18 MeV/u. The minimum energy of a U beam required for the IF driver is 200 MeV/u at the beam power of 400 kW. The beam current of U ions in high charge states is limited by the performance of existing ECR ion sources. This facility will be unique in the aspect that state-of-art accelerators are facilitated for both the IF and ISOL drivers and combined to produce extreme exotic beams. Also, standalone operation of each accelerator will allow us to accommodate diverse users from beam application fields as well as nuclear physics. The current status of the design efforts will be presented.

The potential for using thorium as an alternative or supplement for uranium in fission power generation has long been recognised, with growing concerns over nuclear waste, safety and proliferation. Thorium may be used in solid fuel form, or in molten salt systems. In some approaches the fuel can incorporate components from spent nuclear fuel (minor actinides, plutonium) to also serve a transmutation function. We consider the benefits and drawbacks of using an accelerator driven subcritical system, for both solid fuel and molten salt cases, in particular addressing the power and reliability requirements of the accelerator. We outline the research that will be necessary to lead to an informed choice.

TRIUMF laboratory is currently in a phase of the construction of a new superconducting 50 MeV 10 mA cw electron linac (e-linac) to drive photo-fission based rare radioactive isotope beam (RIB) production. The project imposes certain technical challenges on various accelerator systems including beam diagnostics. In the first place these are a high beam power and strongly varying operating modes ranging from very short beam pulses to the cw regime. A number of development projects have been started to construct the diagnostics instrumentation required for commissioning and operation of the facility. The paper reports the present status of the projects along with measurement results obtained at the test facility which produced the first beam in Fall of 2011.

The J-PARC facilities had big damages because of the earthquake on March 11, 2011. The J-PARC linac in the tunnel had also damages. For instance the alignment of the cavity was deformed more than 40 mm and there had been observed about 0.2 mm in horizontal direction for a few DTs in the DTL. However, as the result of the recovery work which includes the re-alignment and re-conditioning of whole cavities, we were able to restart the beam acceleration of the linac. The stability of the DTL and SDTL has returned to the state before the earthquake except for a few tanks of SDTL. In this paper, we will present the recovery works from the earthquake and the operating status of the DTL and the SDTL.

The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) International Collaboration is carrying out an extensive R&D program towards a multi-TeV electron-positron collider. The CLIC concept is based on the use of high-gradient normal-conducting accelerating structures in conjunction with a novel two-beam acceleration scheme, where the RF power needed to accelerate the colliding beams is extracted from a high-current drive beam running parallel to the main linac. In order to establish the feasibility of such concept a number of key issues were addressed, both experimentally and theoretically, and the results of the study were documented in the recently completed CLIC Conceptual Design Report (CDR). The conclusions reached in the CDR constitute also an important contribution to the European strategy group. A short summary of the present status with will be given, together with an outlook on the program for the next period, aimed at the preparation of an implementation plan.

The generation of short (250 ns) high peak power (135 MW) RF pulses by decelerating the high current (100 A) bunched (12 GHz) drive beam is one of the key components in the CLIC two beam acceleration scheme. Recent tests with drive beam deceleration at CERN's CTF3, using specially developed 1 m long CLIC Power Extraction and Transfer Structure (PETS) operated in re-circulation regime have successfully demonstrated this concept. The results of these tests are presented.

Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) linac accelerates an H⁻ beam from 2.5MeV up to 1GeV. Recently the emittance scanner in the MEBT (2.5 MeV) was upgraded. In addition to the slit - harp measurement we now can use a slit installed on the same actuator as the harp. In combination with a faraday cup located downstream in DTL part of the linac it represents a classical slit-slit emittance measurement device. While a slit – slit scan takes much longer time, it is immune to harp related problems such as wire cross talk and thus looks promising for accurate halo measurements. Time resolution of the new device seems to be sufficient to estimate amount of the beam in the chopper gap (the scanner is downstream of the chopper) and probably measure its emittance. The paper describes initial measurements with new device and some model validation data.

This note describes the concept of a Low Luminosity Low Energy Neutrino Factory (L3ENF) using a Project X pulsed, or CW, Linac at 8GeV. By collecting pis and mus with energy ~1 GeV, and accelerating them to 10 GeV, it is possible to store ~10²⁰ mus per year. Most of the concepts suggested here can be tested using the Booster beam, Recycler, Antiproton Target Station, the Main Injector and the Tevatron. Once the VLENF Muon Storage Ring is built, components needed for L3ENF could be used in experiments before Project X completion.

The linac of Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC), which is an injector to the synchrotron, comprises a 3-MeV RFQ, 50-MeV DTLs and the 181-MeV Separated-type DTLs. In order to increase the beam power of the synchrotron, the task of the 400-MeV energy upgrade of the linac started from March 2009. The tanks of the Annular-ring Coupled Structure (ACS) linac, RF sources, beam monitors and utilities are in production. Although some peripheral components of the ACS linac are prepared previously, the all ACS tanks will be installed and conditioned for 4 months from July 2013. Beam commissioning of the 400-MeV linac is scheduled to begin in October and expected to finish at the end of November 2013. In this paper, we present the current status of the energy upgrade and some R&D results for new equipment for ACS linac.
